Michigan Bike Tour

Aug 2nd thru Aug 9th I toured with the MI Bicycle League on the west shoreline of MI (east coast of Lake MI) What a beautiful, organized ride it was. The sandy beaches and the aqua color of the waters reminded me of the Caribbean islands! We went swimming everyday. Most of the days were sunny, in the 70s. I rode to Mackinaw City with my friend Kathy St. Peters; from there we took a bus to the start of the ride in Spring Lake. I did forget to bring my camera so have very few pictures to show what an awesome ride it was.

Washington DC with Mary Jo

On July 24th I made a last minute decision to fly out and see Mary Jo in DC. Her work trip to India was delayed from the 24th to the 31st so she felt it would be an ideal time for me to come out. The remodeling of her house was complete; just got to help put some finishing touches like hanging pictures, etc. Mary let me use her bike while she was working so toured some of the many bike trails. It is also a very efficient way to get quickly around the mall to see the many museums, monuments, etc. We took in a free jazz concert on the mall Friday evening; spent most of Saturday with cousin Kay, and even got to watch Mary Jo play in a soccer game. It was a very fun trip.
